How to send just this bit of informaiton to myself

ugh, excuse my typo in the title, can't edit that... I have this macro: &{template:default} {{name=Passives for @{selected|character_name}}} Perception [[10+@{selected|perception_bonus}]] Insight [[10+@{selected|insight_bonus}]] Investigation [[10+@{selected|investigation_bonus}]] Survival [[10+@{selected|survival_bonus}]] Pretty useful, as I can use it to check for passive stuff on any of my players. However, I don't want it to go to the group, because I don't want them to know when I am checking their passives. I cannot seem to figure out how to make it just whisper to me, or something, without screwing up the template and getting errors. I can do it as a series of /w gm lines, but that looks crummy and it gets confusing. I'd like to keep it in a template of one kind or another - doesn't have to be the default template, but that's nice. ALSO: How do i get it to make nice columns, like the default template is supposed to do? I tried this: &{template:default} {{name=Passives for @{selected|character_name}}} {{Perception=[[10+@{selected|perception_bonus}]]}} {{Insight=[[10+@{selected|insight_bonus}]]}} {{Investigation=[[10+@{selected|investigation_bonus}]]}} {{Survival=[[10+@{selected|survival_bonus}]]}} but it makes lines that look like this: {{Perception=13}} That is, I can see the curvy brackets and the equals sign. And its not in nice columns.

The best way is to convert to a single-line template, so you can use /w GM at the start just once. Your second attempt is almsot correct but you cant have line breaks. So it should look like /w gm &{template:default} {{name=Passives for @{selected|character_name}}} {{Perception=[[10+@{selected|perception_bonus}]]}} {{Insight=[[10+@{selected|insight_bonus}]]}} {{Investigation=[[10+@{selected|investigation_bonus}]]}} {{Survival=[[10+@{selected|survival_bonus}]]}}
BY GOD JIM , YOU'VE DONE IT. so pleased. thank you.
